The classic PS1 first-person shooter Star Wars: Dark Forces is being resurrected on the PS5 and PS4 – almost 30 years after it first released. The game – which originally launched on MS-DOS – is being remastered by Nightdive Studios, which is using its proprietary KEX Engine to rebuild the original in 4K resolution at up to 120 frames-per-second.
The full game will feature Trophies, as well as “advanced 3D rendering” and various other improvements that will help make it more palatable to a contemporary console audience. There’s no release date attached just yet, but the title’s due out at some point later this year, alongside the Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion remaster announced earlier in the day.

I love the fact that all of these old games are coming back. It's why I subbed to Premium although less said about that the better.
@PixelDragon The developer said the price will be "popular", so fingers crossed!!
I'd love Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II to get a modern re-release that game was awesome
Does this make it canon?
Will be good to actually play this - years ago, I bought the PS1 download version to play on my PS3 but it never worked; it starts up but then hangs at the intro.
No chance of a refund as Sony's view is that once you download it you have agreed to the terms & no refunds issued
Really liked this one, played through this, Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith a year or two ago.
@Robinsad No, it doesn't.
Nightdive the GOAT
got original from GOG £1.19
Awesome game!!
The magic word "trophies".
Question, will it be the exact game as I played that thru to the end in my first play through in the 90s
720p @30fps - 50$ to go by last month's trend
Now we need the excellent Nightdive update of Blood on consoles, then they should work on Blood 2 and Shogo. Then Requiem and Killing Time by 3D0 studios .
And for god's sake release them all physical on regular retail not through bloody limited immensely slow and hugely expensive run games !
